Novel CRISPR-based detection of Leishmania species

Abstract excerpt

Tegumentary leishmaniasis, a disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania , is a major public health problem in many regions of Latin America. Its diagnosis is difficult given other conditions resembling leishmaniasis lesions and co-occurring in the same endemic areas. A combination of parasitological and molecular methods leads to accurate diagnosis, with the latter being traditionally performed...
